The Center for Cognitive Neuroscience
is a multidisciplinary research center aimed at understanding the relation between cognitive abilities and the neural systems that support them.
The Center's research focus in cognitive neuroscience spans a wide range of methods involving both human and animal work, and covers an equally wide range of content areas ranging from sensory-motor processes to high level cognition. Areas that are currently represented within the center include auditory and visual perception, motor control, learning and memory, speech and language, and attention. CCNS faculty conduct research using a wide range of research methods such as fMRI, EEG, MEG, TMS, as well as patient-based neuropsychological and animal based single- and multi-unit neurophysiological approaches.
The Center comprises 21 core faculty members in five Departments and four Schools. Participating Schools include Social Sciences, Biological Sciences, School of Medicine, and Engineering. Participating Departments include Cognitive Sciences, Neurobiology and Behavior, Neurology, Biomedical Engineering, and Anatomy and Neurobiology.
